A major controversy erupted online as a UK man walked into an Iskcon restaurant in London, filming himself eating KFC chicken after challenging the staff about it being a 'vegan restaurant.'
In the video, a Black man can be seen entering Govinda's restaurant, holding a food packet.
He then approaches the food counter and asks the two women behind it if it is a vegan restaurant.
'No meat, no onion, no garlic,' one replies.

'Are you sure there is no meat?' he presses.
The women reaffirm and gesture to a sign outside clearly indicating it's a vegetarian restaurant.
The man then reveals a KFC fried chicken basket, sets it on the counter, and begins eating a chicken leg.
One of the women inquires about it, quickly realising it's meat.
She asks him to leave, while the other employee seeks assistance.
Unfazed, the man continues eating the chicken leg. 'You want some?' he offers, holding out the half-eaten piece to the shocked staff member.
He then approaches another employee, who repeats that they don't serve meat, as he dangles the chicken from his mouth, offering it again.
A customer intervenes, saying, 'Excuse me, you are violating someone's religious practices. That's not fair,' prompting the man to shout, 'Free the chicken!' before leaving the restaurant.
An African boy entered ISKCON's Govinda restaurant and confirmed if it is a vegetarian restaurant.
He then took out his KFC Chicken and started eating it and offered them to other people to mock them.
Totally expecting more of this from Sadiq Khan's London. Hate for Hindus in… pic.twitter.com/TD9mMGZcSV — Incognito (@Incognito_qfs) July 20, 2025

The video triggered widespread anger among Indians online. 'Total nightmare for the people inside. What should we call this? Racism or pure Hindu Hate?' read the caption.
Many called for the restaurant to file a police complaint, while others criticised the man for deliberately provoking the staff.
'The intentional violation of a cultural and religious norm in this manner is a clear demonstration of intolerance,' one user commented.
Another questioned, 'Apart from horrendous, what is he trying to do and why? Is he offended that people can be vegetarian? Or are people waiting to use or misuse someone who doesn't know what they're doing?'
A third user condemned his 'filthy and sick mindset,' stating, 'He achieved nothing by harassing people! Zero achievement but created nuisance.'

Why does Black Twitter hate Hulk Hogan?: All about the controversy that cost him his WWE career

Image credits: X Hulk Hogan , born Terry Gene Bollea, was a popular American wrestler known for his theatrics that transformed professional wrestling into a family entertainment game. He started a pop culture phenomenon called "Hulkamania" after defeating the Iron Sheik for the World Heavyweight Championship in 1984, and his signature look of a bandana and handlebar moustache is still followed by fans worldwide. The 71-year-old was best known for his work with WWE and World Championship Wrestling. On July 24th, 2025, Hogan was pronounced dead at his home in Clearwater, Florida, due to a cardiac arrest. Image credits: X While the media personality and wrestler was loved by fans of the sport and his theatrics in general, there is a section of people who are celebrating the legend's death. Black Twitter, a cultural identity on Twitter (now X), highlighted Black voices and perspectives. People part of the community and Black people in general have been celebrating Hulk Hogan's death with posts on X, such as "Satan about to have his way with you, "brother'." The post mentioned has received 144.7K views with 4K likes. "Me understanding this tweet with a straight face knowing what I know," commented an X user under the post. "Cackling 😆😆😆" and "I'm tired of liking these tweets man," added others. Why is it so? Let's figure it out below! Why does Black Twitter hate Hulk Hogan? Image credits: X While Hogan is one of the most popular and respected WWE wrestlers, in 2015, not only was he removed from the WWE Hall of Fame, but his contract was even suspended by WWE. The wrestler was facing major backlash and protest after a transcript revealed him using racist language during a conversation. The audio was a part of a 2007 sex tape involving him and Heather Clem, wife of his friend Bubba the Love Sponge. It was leaked in 2012 and was made public as a part of his legal battle with Gawker Media. Hogan could be heard repeatedly using the N-word and making racially offensive comments about his daughter Brooke's life, sharing his anger and discomfort as she was dating a Black man. Not only did Hogan face criticism from the Black community and his followers, but as per People and other outlets at the time, WWE said that it was "committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds." Additionally, at the same time, Bay News 9 uncovered racist comments from 2008 jailhouse phone calls between Hogan and his son Nick, who was serving time for a car crash that left a friend permanently disabled. In one of such calls, he was heard using the N-word and making stereotypical remarks about race, adding insult to injury. As an apology for his behaviour Hogan released a public statement, saying: "Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation. It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it. This is not who I am. I believe very strongly that every person in the world is important and should not be treated differently based on race, gender, orientation, religious beliefs or otherwise. I am disappointed with myself that I used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs." As for his lawsuit with Gawker, it culminated in a $140 million jury award, which was later settled for $31 million. While he was reinstated in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018, Hogan's actions seem to have left a permanent mark on the Black community.

Watch: UK Theatre Stops Indian Movie Screening Midway As Fans Make Mess

A user has shared a video footage on social media, showing staff members at a UK theatre stopping a movie screening to school the audience members after they allegedly threw confetti and made a mess around them. The incident transpired as the Telugu movie, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, was playing on the big screen. "A group of people threw confetti during a screening of Hari Hara Veera Mallu in the UK, disrupting the show," the user named @MeruBhaiya wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "The staff rightly stopped the film and called them out. This kind of hooliganism is unacceptable and deserves strong condemnation," they added.

Others said the audience should have offered to clean up the theatre, having made the mess. "Sad but Indian really need some decorum classes for living in the UK.. just pathetic behaviour all over," said one user while another added: "Why weren't they thrown out?!" A third commented: "At least they could have said sorry and should have offered to clean up. That would have been more graceful than trying to argue it out.' After a user said throwing confetti and other items during a popular movie was a cultural thing for Indians from the southern region, the OP instantly disagreed. "I don't care whether they're from the South or the North, this kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable in the UK. What might be considered normal in Indian cinemas is seen here as littering and being disrespectful," the OP wrote.
